Literacy Mission

The mission of literacy coaching at Reavis High school is to provide students with the literacy skills they need for success in high school and will be able to use well into the future. Through collaboration with literacy coaches and professional development, teachers from all content areas will use literacy practices that align with the particular curriculum, fit the teacher's style, and address needs of the students based on our most up-to-date assessment information. The goal is for all teachers to use strategies, activities,texts, and lessons grounded in research that represent best practices in literacy instruction to meet the needs of individual students in their classes.
